Used Golf Ball Grading System

Used golf balls arrive at our facility in EVERY sort of condition you can imagine. Some have barely been out of their new box…hit once or hit on just couple of holes. Some have spent a month or so in a pond. All are first thoroughly scrubbed and then sorted. Sorting is a manual process…one ball at a time, by experienced members of our team.

Our Used Golf Ball Grading System then divides the used golf balls into TWO tables (see below). The TOP table shows our USED GOLF BALLS. The BOTTOM table shows our USED RANGE GOLF BALLS. But first, here are photos of actual Refurbished, Mint, AAA, C, and D golf balls. Click on the images to see the quality “up close.”

The mint grade golf balls are the highest quality golf ball in the marketplace. There are like new and will feel and play as a new golf ball would. Its shading is excellent. This mix may HAVE corporate LOGOS* and player pen markings, but NO cuts or NO scuffs.
*Percentage varies anywhere from 0% to 100% logo balls depending on stocks.

First, the balls are stripped, then repainted, then their original logos are are stamped on. Finally, a clear coat is sprayed on the ball to make them look as though they are brand new. Try them, you will not be disappointed!!!

AAA/
Near Mint

Golf balls are great for practice rounds.

The golf balls are cosmetically challenged, but that will not affect their distance, flight path or trajectory. The golf balls are CLEANED and WASHED. The condition of this golf ball will be similar to a golf ball that has been played for a few holes.The color and sheen of the golf balls may be inconsistent. Expect golf balls to have corporate logos, small scuffs or player markings.

AA

Still very playable golf ball

Our AA golf balls are great for practice rounds. The condition of this golf ball will be similar to a golf ball that has been played for at least 9 to 18 holes. The golf balls are WASHED and CLEANED. Cosmetic blemishes and discoloration and in some of the dimples may be present. There may be a difference in luster and color. The integrity and flight characteristic is not compromised. Player markings, team and corporate log will be part of this grade. Higher grade x-outs and practice models may be included.

This grade goes one of two directions. If he balls are white, the “A” grade means the ball is in MINT condition. If they are RANGE balls, they will be an A/B mix. These range balls still have a lot of life left. Good shine. Most of the stripes are still there.

B

Good “Filler” range balls. Stripes and shine are starting to wear down. Multiple flaws and noticeable wears. Still very playable, expect tanning on some golf balls of this grade. Logo will be on some golf balls.

C

Good For Winter Ranges. Less stripes and Dimples than the B Grade. Some will have logos, tanning, scuffs and players pen marks, but no cuts. This mix may include refinished balls.

D

This is the bottom of the barrel. If you loose these, it is not going to be a great loss. Some or many balls may be dirty.
